The reliable solution that loves the environment
The use of LPG for vehicle propulsion (autogas) has been widespread for years. For Coral Gas, autogas is a strategic development priority, providing significant benefits to drivers.
In Europe, over 7 million cars run on LPG, while in Greece, the number of vehicles using it is steadily increasing, offering significant savings compared to gasoline and diesel, and contributing to environmental protection through reduced emissions.
Quality & Quantity Assurance with Molecular Marker
Complete control of your fuel, with proof.
Quality Assurance
The quality assurance of Coral Gas autogas is achieved through authenticity control with a molecular marker and the composition control of the LPG.
Authenticity Control
Coral Gas autogas is the only one with a molecular marker, ensuring the authenticity of the fuel and the highest quality assurance. The molecular marker:
- Is introduced into the LPG in an infinitesimal quantity.
- Is measured with specialized equipment, detecting changes for precise fuel identification.
- Does not alter any physical or chemical properties of the LPG.
LPG Composition Control
Coral Gas’s mobile control units ensure that the LPG meets composition specifications, ensuring the smooth operation and maximum performance of your engine for more kilometers.
Quantity Assurance
Quantity assurance is achieved through periodic checks with a certified volume meter, with which Coral Gas’s mobile control units are equipped. A modern electronic system measures the volume in liters, certifying the proper operation of the LPG dispenser at the stations.
